I didn’t know Mercedes was working on a new design/refresh of the E-Class and was pretty surprised to see pictures of the new car.  I’m not sure if I should call the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a refresh or a new model.  Normally when a carmaker shows a refreshed model, there are minor tweaks to the design but the new E-Class has a completely new face and new sheet metal on the sides, but the overall shape and dimensions are the same, so I can’t really call it an all-new car.

Whatever the case may be, here is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class in all its glory.  Gone are the four headlights that have been gracing the front ends of the E-Class cars since 1995.  Instead, you’ll find a pair of smooth looking headlights, each with LED bars inserted between the main lights, giving the front the 4-light look.

This year’s Detroit Auto Show is loaded with newly designed cars and here’s the all-new, completely redesigned, 2014 Infiniti G37 Sedan – I mean Infiniti Q50 sedan.  Infiniti recently came up with the “great” idea of re-naming their entire lineup of cars and SUV’s.  Starting this year, all their cars will have the letter “Q” followed by a pair of numbers; their SUV names will start with the letters “QX”.  Most people I’ve talked about this, don’t like the new naming structure one bit, we’ll see how it goes and whether it’ll create confusion among consumers.

Forget the CLA, the new Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is what North America needs. This beautiful high-performing hatchback was recently revealed by Mercedes and packs quite a punch for a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged vehicle. With the 2.0-liter turbo engine producing an impressive 355horsepower making it the most powerful series production four cylinder turbocharged engine in the world.

The power powertrain is mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and also features the AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. The system is a front-wheel drive car under normal conditions but when required, the 4MATIC all-wheel drive splits the torque between the front and rear axle at a 50:50 ratio. According to Mercedes, this system is 25 percent lighter than the all-wheel drive being offered by competitors such as Audi S3.

If you were a child of the 1980s, it’s a pretty good bet that you know and love the classic Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1 vehicle.

Based on a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis built by the Miller-Meteor company, the Ecto-1 is quite possibly the most iconic movie vehicles in existence. I would say it’s second only to say, KITT from Knight Rider, which was a garbage show anyway. The trouble, is that the Ecto-1 had fallen into disrepair over the years from

Well, Saab is no longer with us, but its legacy still lives on through the people that drive them everyday, and all the chat boards online dedicated just to Saab vehicles. They’re lucky too… getting OEM Saab parts should be relatively easy since the company was pretty big and has a well thought out distribution parts center which will allow these cars can stay on the road for years to come, unlike my 1974 Datsun. I’ve always been a fan of the Saab jets and nobody in our family has ever owned a Saab, but I always appreciated their cars when I would see them on the road. Their styling is always unique, and you just don’t
